UP directs development authority officials to be people friendly

The Uttar Pradesh government on Thursday directed vice chairpersons of all development authorities to provide an online facility to the people for solution of problems on priority in fixed time frame.

Seeking improvement in the existing image of the authorities, Chief Secretary Alok Ranjan said that authorities should develop their land banks and ensure necessary action for providing maximum residential facilities to the public at reasonable rates.

He said that review meetings would not be held on basis of dates anymore, but rather on-the-spot physical inspection would be undertaken. Immediately after the review meeting, he undertook a surprise on-the-spot inspection of the under-construction Lucknow Haat Avadh Shilp Gram project and issued directions to complete it latest by April 2016.

Instructions have also been issued to senior officials of the housing development department that monthly progress of disposal of cases in Samadhan Diwas held on every Thursday by development authorities should be reviewed and apprised to senior officials.
